If you're using your car on the street then a stock rotor, bolted on and dialed in to under 002 runout will serve you better. Probably cost you less too.
I just setup some new stock type rear rotors for my buddy and got one to 001 and the other to 0005" runout-can't get any better then that.

Go get yourself some stock AC delco USA rotors. Like GTR1999 said, unless you are planning to track the car, those drilled rotors serve no purpose but looks. I've also heard that if the rotors are indeed drilled, that they will crack around the holes. If they are cast with the holes originally, they don't crack...or that's what I read when I was researching which rotors to buy.

I put Bendix on the front of mine a couple of years ago. Cost around seventy five dollars each. Couldn't find them for the rears so I went with NAPA's premium rotor - USA made and thirty nine dollars each. Suprise!! Came in the same exact box as the Bendix, with exactly the same instruction sheet right down to the printing number on it. I guess Bendix makes them for NAPA, or vice versa, or someone else makes them for both Bendix and NAPA.
If you go with A/C Delco make sure they are US made if that matters to you. I was going to buy the A/C Delco, but I asked the vendor where they were made and he said "China, I wonder when this started, all the ones we got before were US made". You just never know these days. The Chinese made A/C Delcos were more money than the US made NAPAs - go figure...
